I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?

I'm really worried about my mom. She had a foot corn and used a corn cap, then cleaned it with Dettol for about 45 days, which seemed to burn her skin pretty bad. We went to a dermatologist who prescribed omnacortil 40mg. I read online that this medicine should show effects in about an hour, but she's not feeling any improvement. Her hands and foot look burnt, they're itchy, and she can't fold her fingers because they're swollen. She's also taking augmentin 625mg three times a day. How long does it usually take for the steroid to start working, and when might she start getting better? It's really concerning.

Omnacortil 40mg (Prednisolone)_ 1. *Onset of action*: 1-2 hours, but peak effects may take 4-6 hours. 2. *Expected improvement*: Within 24-48 hours, but full recovery may take 7-10 days. _Augmentin 625mg_ 1. *Antibiotic effects*: Should start showing improvement within 2-3 days. _Current Situation_ 1. *Severe skin reaction*: Dettol can be harsh on skin, causing burns and irritation. 2. *Steroid treatment*: Omnacortil should help reduce inflammation and swelling. 3. *Antibiotic treatment*: Augmentin should help prevent infection.

I'm wondering if clindamycin phosphate gel works well for oily, acne-prone skin. I tried it because a doctor recommended it to me, but I haven't noticed any improvement. I checked with a dermatologist in Jaipur who mentioned that it might not be effective due to hormonal changes, especially since I recently got married. Does that sound right to you? Is there something else I should consider?

yes hormonal changes. COntinue clindamycin phosphate gel.
